Contract law – exclusion clauses, intention to create legal relations.
Tort of negligence – general negligence, professional misstatement.
Employment law – common law duties, dismissal.
Agency/partnership – how agency relationship arises, termination of partnership.
Company law – separate personality/lifting the veil, company registration, class rights.
Fraudulent behaviour – insider dealing, bribery.

BPP

Expect the first 7 questions to be knowledge based, covering the English Legal system, Contract Formation, Tort, Company Formation, Company Financing and Employment Law. Within the last 3 ‘problem’ questions there should be a question on contract breach and remedies.
The Bribery Act 2010 entered the syllabus in 2012 and was not tested in June, so either a knowledge or problem question is likely in December.
